GIP!

Okay, I've asked and begged and pleaded for some hints on where people find their wonderful icons, and then I gave up and decided -- hey, I can google with the best of 'em. So I found me some icons! This one is courtesy of edithgeraldine. It feels a little weird, putting up a famous picture of some pretty lady to represent me -- but I guess it's not any more weird than being represented by a not-yet-of-age mischievous hobbit lad, either, LOL.

Today I was completely bored at work, and so spent my time reviewing my entire LiveJournal from its inception almost exactly two years ago (June 3, 2002). And I have to say, I was a little blown away. I have never, ever, in my life successfully maintained any written record of my doings and thoughts -- just the occasional angst-ridden entry when I've been very, very down. Now after two years of entries I must confess -- I am feeling rather proud of myself. I've not written especially well or cleverly, but there is... a great deal of my life and my thoughts encompassed here. And I only made it through 2002! Guess I'll carry on, then. I keep finding posts I'm fond of and adding them to my memories list -- it's getting huge! *smile* And best of all, I'm reminded over and over again of the love and warmth and caring I find here. shiredancer *smooches* to y'all!
